Named Entity Recognition in Travel-Related Search Queries

This paper addresses the problem of named entity recognition (NER) in travel-related search queries. NER is an important step toward a richer understanding of user-generated inputs in information retrieval systems. NER in queries is challenging due to minimal context and few structural clues. NER in restricted-domain queries is useful in vertical search applications, for example following query...

Open Source Toolkit for Statistical Machine Translation: Factored Translation Models and Confusion Network Decoding

The 2006 Language Engineering Workshop Open Source Toolkit for Statistical Machine Translation had the objective to advance the current state-of-the-art in statistical machine translation through richer input and richer annotation of the training data. The workshop focused on three topics: factored translation models, confusion network decoding, and the development of an open source toolkit tha...

Characterization of efficient points of the production possibility set under variable returns to scale in DEA

  We suggest a method for finding the non-dominated points of the production possibility set (PPS) with variable returns to scale (VRS) technology in data envelopment analysis (DEA). We present a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem whose feasible region is the same as the PPS under variable returns to scale for generating non-dominated points. We demonstrate that Pareto solutions o...

Well-dispersed subsets of non-dominated solutions for MOMILP ‎problem

This paper uses the weighted L$_1-$norm to propose an algorithm for finding a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated solutions of multiple objective mixed integer linear programming problem. When all variables are integer it finds the whole set of efficient solutions. In each iteration of the proposed method only a mixed integer linear programming problem is solved and its optimal solutions gen...
